Flamekeep The Lava Submerged Fortress
« on: January 21, 2009, 06:20:58 pm »

Flamekeep was founded in the a  third year after the War Of Creation when almost all sentient beings where wiped out.The only vetern was Dishmab Onulshetbeth who never wanted to see war again.He wandered teaching the orphans how to farm and make citys.He tuaght the Elves,Humans,and Dwarves what their parents did before the war,he tuaght them their customs and all other things that they did.With his deed done he wandered around selling leather parchments.Soon when he went back to The Orbs Of Smiths and found he was a hero and he didn't die yet but he found out he was deitified.He went to talk to the king who was short of Workers but gave him six workers that he could spare.The old Philospher (Dishmab) lead them to the northren forests  to the edge of a great volcano.He turned to them and spoke."This firey metal is what we own by birthrite and becuase it is our birthrite we will tame it.For we are dwarves and everything that is made of ground or metal is our birthrite, we will carve a fortress out of this flame and prosper where others see only death.For we are Dwarves the Stone is our mother god an the Fire is our Father god.Our fort will be named Flamedeep.For it will be much submerged and much diffended.For the glory of The Orb Of Smiths,Strike the earth!" and  with that speech he set about planning the fortress out and the Dwarves set about following his orders.

[OOC:Im going to build a fortress in a volcano completley submerged except for a small bridge which connects the Front tower with the ground I also plan on having floodgates hooked up to allow lava to pour on the bridge to kill things.If you have any suggestions please post and ill turn this into a succesion/Community fort as soon as immigrants arrive.]

My suggestions would be
a)if it's at all possible, have counstruction around a 'magma spout' such that it looks like a gargoyle or huge dragon mouth or somesuch.
b) have it feed a magma-to-obsidian system with water. bonus points if you have this as an open air thing high up, producing gouts of noxious vapours to surround the top of your obsidian tower. spooooooky.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

Thus ends the official written history of the fortress known as Boatmurdered. May their tortured souls rest in peace.

It would be fun in the Fire spirit way.

Urist mcdwarf goes into a resturant with his elf "freind"
He orders plump helmets and tells his freind to order the Magmafish.The elf does.But when it comes out he says he cant eat it.Urist asks why. The elf answer "it looks to much like my Dad."

Urist mcdwarf cancels scheme:Luaghing ass off.

Magmafish would be awesome. The mating of the two great gods of DF: Carp, the god of Destruction and Magma, the god of Fun and all that is good.

Sure. Call him/her hamster, have him be homicidal YET, he gives good life advice almost as if her were an 1000 year old buddhist monk (usually while butchering a cat)

And you can't eat them, either, sadly. Even though it'd make sieges so much more fun; dwarves lining the walls, drooling and carrying sharp knives and forks, ready for the upcoming meals.
